CondensoXP

Vapor phase soldering for high throughput

The CondensoX series is based on a well-conceived design, in particular with regard to thehermetically sealed process chamber. Without moving the PCB during the process, the CondensoXP combines vacuum profiling and temperature profiling into a single system. Since the PCBs are not moved during the process, any shifting of the components is virtually ruled out. This, as well as outstanding temperature profiling, reduces failure rates and improves total cost of ownership.

In the case of the CondensoXP variant, the loading axis is laid out such that it’s suitable for hook up to an automated loading unit. The CondensoXP HS is equipped with a second loading axis for increased throughput. The process chamber can thus be reloaded while the workpiece carrier is being cooled down at the same time. This system is perfect for use in high-speed production lines.

A patented principle for reliable, void-free solder joints

Condensation orvapor phase soldering makes use of heat released during the transition from the vaporous to the liquid state in order to heat up the PCB to be soldered. Temperature remains continuously constant during the medium’s change of state (phase transition). As a result, the maximum temperature of the PCB cannot exceed the boiling point of the medium (Galden®), or its condensation temperature.

The soldering process takes place in asealed process chamber. The vapor allows for extremely effective heat transfer to the PCBs due to the release of heat during condensation. In addition to this, the medium’s boiling point limits the maximum soldering temperature so that the PCBs cannot, under any circumstances, be damaged due to overheating.

As a unique feature in the field of condensation soldering, the handling systems included with the CondensoX series can be subsequently adapted according to the customer’s needs. And thus the basic system grows along with your requirements without forcing you to invest in a completely new system.You simply replace the loading system and are thus provided with optimized production equipment utilization.
